 Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy

Bloom's Taxonomy is a framework for categorizing educational goals, It is widely used by educators to
create learning objectives, assessments, and activities that encourage higher-order thinking. The
taxonomy is typically represented as a hierarchical model with six levels:

•Remembering: Recalling facts and basic concepts.

•Example: Define, list, memorize, repeat, state.
•Understanding: Explaining ideas or concepts.
•Example: Describe, explain, interpret, summarize, classify.
•Applying: Using information in new situations.
•Example: Use, execute, implement, demonstrate, solve.
•Analyzing: Breaking information into parts to explore understandings and relationships.
•Example: Compare, contrast, examine, test, differentiate.
•Evaluating: Justifying a decision or course of action.
•Example: Critique, judge, argue, support, validate.
•Creating: Producing new or original work.
•Example: Design, construct, plan, produce, invent.
